PREFACE 

The  object  of  this  book  is  to  provide  not 
only  a  practical  list  of  suggestions  that  may 
be  of  service  to  those  desirous  of  securing 
good  and  wholesome  literature  for  their  chil- 
dren, but  also  one  that  may  be  used  by  the 
children  themselves. 

This  compilation  is  divided  into  nineteen 
groups,  in  which  the  books  are  graded  ac- 
cording to  ages,  so  that  selection  may  be 
readily  made,  and  each  book  title  is  followed 
by  a  short  descriptive  note. 

It  is  impossible  to  draw  any  absolute  line 
as  to  the  particular  age  a  boy  or  girl  must 
be  in  order  to  read  and  assimilate  the  con- 
tents of  a  certain  book,  such  is  the  difference 
in  mental  development.  However,  long  ex- 
perience has  shown  the  compiler  what  is  best 
adapted  to  the  average,  and  the  grading  has 
been  done  accordingly. 

Much  care  has  been  used  in  selecting 
books  which  have  some  value  in  assisting  the 
gradual  evolution  of  the  mind  or  in  shaping 
character,  and  which,  at  the  same  time,  will 
make  their  appeal  to  the  boy  or  girl.

INTRODUCTION 

It  is  said  that  the  child  is  father  of  the 
man,  and  in  the  matter  of  reading  this  is 
especially  applicable.  Material  delightful 
to  the  hearing,  but  perhaps  in  a  lesser  de- 
gree to  the  understanding,  of  a  child  of  from 
nine  to  twelve  years  of  age,  yields  pleasure 
also  to  the  adult;  while  to  children  of  twelve 
to  sixteen  or  seventeen  the  same  material 
would  be  dry  and  uninteresting;  its  beauty 
is  not  intuitively  perceived  by  them  as  by  their 
younger  brothers.  For  example,  let  me  cite 
"Emmy  Lou,"  by  G.  M.  Martin;  "Little 
Citizens,"  by  Myra  Kelly,  and  "  Uncle  Re- 
mus," by  Joel  Chandler  Harris.  In  these 
stories  there  is  a  bond  of  sympathy  estab- 
lished in  the  case  of  the  younger  child  which 
does  not  apply  to  his  older  brother.  To 
the  adult  —  who  has  been  through  the  various 
phases  of  life  incident  to  the  reaching  of 
adolescence  and  maturity  —  such  stories  ap- 
peal keenly  from  a  psychological  standpoint, 
so  strong  is  the  bond  between  adult  and 
child. 

In  the  matter  of  reading,  it  must  be  re- 
membered that  the  child  of  seven  is  as  truly 
a  critic  as  the  man  of  seventy;  and  while  it 
is  the  aim  of  the  parent  or  teacher  to  put 
into  the  hands  of  the  child  such  literature 


INTRODUCTION 

as  will  be  conducive  to  his  welfare,  it  is 
neither  wise  nor  just  to  force  upon  him  ma- 
terial against  which  he  instinctively  rebels. 
And  here  is  where  theory  and  practice  con- 
flict. I  recall  that  on  my  eighth  birthday  a 
much  interested  relative  presented  me  with  a 
copy  of  Wm.  Matthew's  "  Getting  on  in  the 
World."  His  intentions  in  making  this  gift 
were  admirable;  he  had  my  future  in  view, 
and  he  did  what  he  believed  to  be  a  very 
correct  thing.  I  might  either  have  read  the 
book  myself  or  have  had  it  read  to  me. 
The  latter  I  believe  was  done,  my  seniors  en- 
tertaining the  hope  that  I  would  thereby  be 
imbued  with  ideas  which  might  become  the 
foundation  of  future  success.  Alas !  my  well- 
intentioned  relative  made  the  mistake  of  act- 
ing upon  false  theory  instead  of  trusting  to 
his  practical  common  sense.  Had  the  pro- 
viso been  made  that  I  should  read  the  book 
at,  say,  the  age  of  fifteen  or  earlier,  should 
development  allow,  the  purpose  of  the  donor 
might  have  been  met;  but  as  the  book  was 
not  suited  to  my  age  and  understanding,  the 
result  was  disappointment  to  both  giver  and 
receiver.  This  is  mentioned  as  an  instance 
of  misguided  zeal,  the  giver  failing  to  see 
that  the  child  was  unable  to  digest  and  as- 
similate the  proffered  mental  pabulum.  It 
is  only  natural  that  parents  should  wish  their 
children  to  be  well  informed,  and  with  this 
end  in  view  many  a  fond  mother  proceeds  to 


INTRODUCTION 

fill  the  head  of  her  poor  defenceless  child 
with  science,  instead  of  regaling  it  with  nurs- 
ery rhymes,  folk-lore,  and  fairy  tales.  Not 
infrequently  a  child  will  grow  up  without 
having  been  allowed  to  read  or  listen  to  a 
fairy  tale.  Mythology,  travel,  history,  earth, 
sky,  etc.,  but  nothing  that  will  not  add  in 
some  way  to  scholarly  attainment.  Poor 
child!  he  is  defrauded  by  his  own  parents. 
The  desire  for  the  beautiful  fairy,  the  wicked 
witch,  and  the  ugly  giant  is  natural  to  a 
child.  Every  human  being  is  endowed  with 
an  imagination  which  is  active  and  insistent, 
and  its  craving  is  really  the  thirst  for  knowl- 
edge. 

It  may  seem  strange,  perhaps,  that  the 
nursery  rhyme  and  the  fairy  tale  should  be 
rungs  of  the  ladder  of  knowledge.  Take 
the  case  of  a  man  at  the  head  of  a  pro- 
fession. He  did  n't  reach  his  present  height 
at  a  jump,  but,  beginning  with  the  most  ele- 
mentary subjects,  he  acquired  his  learning  by 
degrees,  until  in  due  course  he  won  promi- 
nence. '  And  so  it  is  with  the  child :  step  by 
step  come  the  nursery  jingle  and  rhyme,  the 
fairy  tale,  simple  poetry,  etc.,  all  paving  the 
way  for  that  which  requires  more  strenuous 
effort. 

It  will  be  noted  that  there  have  been  men- 
tioned the  fairy,  the  witch,  and  the  giant. 
The  first  represents  beauty  and  goodness,  the 
second  wickedness,  and  the  third  brute

INTRODUCTION 

strength.  In  the  average  fairy  tale  these 
three  concomitants  are  so  blended  that  the 
dominating  character  is  the  fairy,  who  even- 
tually prevails  over  the  machinations  of  the 
wicked  witch  and  the  brutal  giant.  As  the 
fairy  represents  love  and  kindness,  a  most 
important  lesson  is  impressed  upon  the  mind 
of  the  child.  There  is  also  a  good  reason  for 
the  witch  and  the  giant.  The  child  is  not 
born  already  civilized,  but  with  natural  and 
savage  instincts.  Civilization,  which  is  only 
a  veneer,  is  an  acquired  thing,  and  it  needs 
only  a  scratch  to  bring  the  savage  instinct  to 
the  surface.  The  witch  and  the  giant,  then, 
do  their  part  in  appeasing  the  desire  for  vio- 
lence; and  the  fact  that  these  disturbing  ele- 
ments are  finally  overcome  by  the  good  fairy 
is  a  great  factor  in  the  early  education  of  the 
child. 

The  best  collection  of  tales  for  very  young 
children  is  that  known  as  "  Mother  Goose 
Nursery  Tales/'  gathered  together  by  Charles 
Perrault.  The  origin  of  most  of  these  tales 
is  lost  in  the  shades  of  antiquity. 

Every  parent  should  have  in  mind  the 
great  importance  to  the  child  of  the  liter- 
ature he  reads.  Much  good  or  much  harm 
may  be  the  result  of  the  early  impressions 
gained.  The  safest  way  is  to  procure  books 
from  one  who  specializes,  and  who  knows  the 
general  trend  of  the  contents  of  a  book. 
There  are  authors  and  publishers  who  may  be 
xii 


INTRODUCTION 

relied  upon  for  the  wholesomeness  of  their 
productions,  and  with  these  the  book-buyer 
will  soon  become  familiar;  but  the  general 
output  is  so  large,  the  authors  and  publishers 
so  many,  and  the  tastes  so  varied,  that  the 
wise  book-buyer  will  rely  to  a  great  extent 
upon  the  bookseller  in  the  matter  of  selection. 

There  is  a  period  in  the  life  of  almost 
every  boy  when  the  desire  for  the  sensational 
is  paramount.  Then  must  the  parent  be  most 
watchful,  because  somehow  the  boy  will  se- 
cure reading  material  which  may  possibly  be 
decidedly  harmful.  How  often  do  we  read 
of  a  boy  in  possession  of  a  cheap  revolver  or 
a  bloodthirsty-looking  knife  being  appre- 
hended while  on  his  way  to  slay  Indians,  or 
to  become  a  bandit  or  a  pirate.  His  actions 
are  almost  always  directly  traceable  to  the 
dime  novel  or  the  penny  dreadful  so  easily 
procured.  Happily  there  are  plenty  of  books 
on  the  market  which  will  satisfy  the  boy's 
craving  for  the  wild  and  adventurous,  and 
which  will  at  the  same  time  be  of  some  bene- 
fit to  him  in  leading  him  to  become  inter- 
ested in  certain  periods  of  history  or  in 
implanting  a  desire  for  information  regard- 
ing the  geography  of  this  and  other  countries. 

From  a  literary  standpoint  these  books  are 
as  a  rule  mediocre,  but  they  are  valuable  as 
substitutes  for  the  more  lurid  effusions.  In 
this  connection  may  be  mentioned  the  pro- 
ductions of  Stratemeyer,  Henty,  Otis,  Strang, 
xiii 


INTRODUCTION 

Monroe,  Stoddard,  and  Brereton,  etc.,  which 
may  be  given  without  question  to  the  boy 
of  from  ten  to  sixteen  years.  At  the  age  of 
twelve  to  sixteen  most  boys  develop  a  desire 
for  school,  college,  and  outing  stories,  and 
numerous  authors  cater  to  this  taste.  Among 
the  better  known  of  these  are  Barbour,  Home, 
Finnemore,  Malone,  Beach,  Hare,  Earl,  Tom- 
linson,  and  Paine;  and  all  their  books  for 
boys  may  be  relied  upon. 

While  the  output  of  books  for  boys  is 
greater  than  that  for  girls,  there  is  plenty  of 
good  wholesome  literature,  suitable  to  all 
ages  of  girlhood,  from  which  to  draw.  Up 
to  the  age  of  nine  or  ten  years  the  line  of 
reading  for  the  girl  may  be  substantially  the 
same  as  that  for  her  brother,  unless  it  be  that 
the  liking  for  the  fairy  tale  is  more  pro- 
nounced in  her  case.  In  the  matter  of  a  de- 
sire for  really  good  literature  it  may  be  said 
that  the  girl  is  usually  more  advanced  than 
the  boy.  From  eleven  to  fifteen  years  of  age 
is  the  best  time  for  historical  tales,  such  as 
those  by  A.  M.  Barnes,  Lucy  F.  Madison, 
and  A.  T.  Curtis;  and  from  twelve  to  sixteen 
those  by  Amy  Blanchard  and  Charlotte  M. 
Yonge.  The  series  of  Young  Folks'  His- 
tories by  the  last  named  author  may  be  read 
by  children  from  ten  years  up  with  pleasure 
and  profit.  The  justly  popular  "  Little 
Women  "  series  by  Louise  M.  Alcott  should 
be  read  by  girls  of  from  twelve  to  sixteen;

INTRODUCTION 

they  will  not  be  properly  appreciated  at  an 
age  younger  than  twelve.  For  those  of  a 
more  tender  age,  ranging  from  seven  to 
eleven,  this  author's  other  series  "  The  Scrap 
Bag/'  and  "  Lulu's  Library/'  make  good, 
wholesome  reading.  The  girl  of  ten  to  thir- 
teen years  will  be  much  interested  in  Mar- 
guerite Bouvet's  "  Little  Marjorie's  Love 
Story/'  "  Sweet  William/'  and  "  A  Child  of 
Tuscany";  while  her  older  sister  of  sixteen 
to  eighteen  will  be  delighted  with  "  My 
Lady  "  and  "  Tales  of  an  Old  Chateau/'  by 
the  same  author. 

Of  course,  there  is  such  temperamental  dif- 
ference in  children  that  it  is  absolutely  im- 
possible to  draw  any  hard  and  fast  line  in 
the  matter  of  reading  according  to  age,  but 
in  the  cases  of  nine  out  of  ten  children  it  is 
safe  to  avoid  the  theoretical  and  to  accept 
the  practical.  There  are  children  of  twelve 
taking  a  high-school  course,  and  there  are 
also  children  of  fifteen  in  the  lower  grades; 
but  these  are  exceptions  and  not  the  rule. 

A  very  important  item  in  the  education  of 
the  child  is  the  supplementary  reader,  and 
the  idea  of  training  the  child's  literary  in- 
stinct by  this  means  is  fostered  by  all  edu- 
cators. There  have  been  much  time,  thought, 
and  experience  devoted  to  this  subject,  and 
there  are  now  in  use  many  splendid  series, 
arranged  for  the  various  grades,  the  high 
school,  and  the  college.  The  field  is  wide 


INTRODUCTION 

and  a  great  wealth  of  real  literature  has  been 
selected,  annotated,  and  arranged,  and  addi- 
tions are  continually  being  made  to  the  al- 
ready long  list. 

For  the  grades,  perhaps  the  best  collection 
is  that  by  Dr.  Charles  Eliot  Norton  called 
"  The  Heart  of  Oak  Books/'  in  the  first 
two  volumes  of  which  will  be  found  a  splen- 
did selection  of  fairy  tales,  fables,  wonder 
stories,  and  rhymes.  The  whole  series  is 
of  general  excellence.  The  supplementary 
reading  should  begin  with  rhymes,  fairy 
tales,  and  fables,  followed  by  simple  mythol- 
ogy, legends,  and  folk-lore;  then  nature  sto- 
ries, biography,  history,  stories  of  travel, 
science  in  story  form,  art,  and  the  classics  of 
literature.  Four  series  in  which  most  of 
these  subjects  are  contained  are  Ginn  &  Co.'s 
"  Classics  for  Children  "  and  the  "  Eclectic 
Readings  "  published  by  the  American  Book 
Company,  "  The  Riverside  Literature  Series," 
published  by  Houghton  Mifflin  Co.,  and 
Appleton's  "  Home  Reading  Books."  For 
the  high  school  student  may  be  recommended 
the  "  Riverside  Literature  Series,"  Long- 
man's "  English  Classics,"  "  The  Lake  Eng- 
lish Classics,"  and  the  "  Macmillan  School 
Readings." 

There  is  no  question  that  the  supplemen- 
tary reader  in  the  school  has  done  much  to 
improve  the  literary  taste  of  the  pupil,  and 
it  is  probable  that  the  regular  reader  will  to 


INTRODUCTION 

a  great  extent  be  superseded  by  the  supple- 
mentary reader. 

And  now  as  to  illustrations  and  artists. 
For  children  of  one,  two,  and  three  years  the 
rag  toy  book  is  very  satisfactory.  The  col- 
ors are  bright  and  attractive,  and  when  soiled 
the  book  may  be  washed  and  ironed  the  same 
as  a  handkerchief.  Then  there  are  the  linen 
books  and  those  mounted  on  linen.  Of  these 
there  are  few  standards,  but  titles  such  as 
"  The  Three  Bears/'  "  Three  Little  Kittens," 
"  A.  was  an  Archer,"  "  Farmyard  Friends/' 
"  Domestic  Animals/'  and  "  Wild  Animals  " 
can  almost  always  be  secured.  There  are 
four  houses  in  the  United  States  which  pay 
special  attention  to  the  very  young  children, 
—  E.  P.  Button  &  Co.,  Raphael  Tuck,  Sons 
&  Co.,  F.  Warne  &  Co.,  and  McLaughlin  & 
Co.,  and  of  these  firms  only  the  last  does  any 
actual  manufacturing  in  this  country.  Per- 
haps four-fifths  of  this  class  of  color  work 
for  the  world  is  done  in  Germany.  Some  of 
the  best  examples  are  the  productions  of  Kate 
Greenaway,  Leslie  Brooke,  Randolph  Calde- 
cott,  and  Walter  Crane.  These  four  artists 
have  given  us  the  best  examples  of  real  art 
for  children,  and  their  picture  and  toy  books 
should  be  a  great  deal  more  widely  known 
than  they  are.  The  manufacturing  of  the 
books  of  these  four  artists  is  all  done  in  Eng- 
land; and  for  real  art,  combined  with  me- 
chanical excellence,  they  are  absolutely  the 
xvii 


INTRODUCTION 

finest  picture  books  ever  put  before  the  pub- 
lic. Among  English  artists  Milicent  Sow- 
erby  is  well  worthy  of  recognition ;  among  her 
delightful  books  are  "  Childhood  "  and  "  Yes- 
terday's Children/'  published  in  America  by 
Duffield  &  Co.  Among  the  artists  of  this 
country  whose  masterpieces  depict  childhood, 
Jessie  Willcox  Smith  stands  preeminent.  Her 
illustrations  in  "  Real  Rhymes  of  Real  Chil- 
dren/' "  The  Book  of  the  Child/'  etc.,  have 
made  her  the  most  popular  among  American 
artists  whose  work  is  devoted  to  the  delinea- 
tion of  child  life.  Books  which  she  has  il- 
lustrated and  which  contain  good  examples 
of  her  art,  besides  the  two  already  men- 
tioned, are  "  The  Child's  Garden  of  Verses/' 
"A  Child's  Book  of  Old  Verses/'  "Seven, 
Ages  of  Childhood/'  "  The  Child's  Book  of 
Stories/'  and  "  Dream  Blocks." 

Of  a  very  different  type  are  the  clever  and 
humorous  illustrations  by  Grace  G.  Wieder- 
seim,  which  may  be  seen  to  good  advantage 
in  "  Nursery  Rhymes  from  Mother  Goose/' 
"Kiddie  Land/'  "Bobby  Blake/'  and 
"  Dolly  Drake."  Peter  Newell  has  also  done 
excellent  humorous  work,  such  as  "  The  Hole 
Book,"  "The  Slant  Book,"  "Pictures  and 
Rhymes,"  "  Alice  in  Wonderland,"  etc.  B. 
Cory  Kilvert,  John  Rae,  Bessie  Pease  Gut- 
man,  Hope  Dunlap,  Ethel  Franklin  Betts, 
and  Wilhelmina  Seegmiller  have  all  done 
most  attractive  work  which  appeals  to  the 
xviii 


INTRODUCTION 

younger  children.  The  artist  who  is  capable 
of  producing  illustrations  attractive  alike  to 
both  child  and  adult,  and  which  are  under- 
stood by  both,  is  what  may  be  termed  a 
sympathetic  genius;  he  also  represents  a  dis- 
tinctive branch  of  art.  All  whose  names 
have  been  mentioned  in  this  connection  pos- 
sess this  great  gift. 

A  splendid  series  of  illustrations  is  con- 
tained in  Boutet  de  Monvel's  "  Joan  of  Arc." 
This  book  is  for  the  more  mature  child,  and 
is  in  a  class  by  itself.  Maxfield  Parrish  has 
illustrated  Eugene  Field's  "  Poems  of  Child- 
hood/' "  The  Arabian  Nights/'  Hawthorne's 
"  The  Wonder  Book  and  Tanglewood  Tales/' 
and  "  Mother  Goose  in  Prose "  by  Frank 
Baum,  and  each  illustration  is  a  very  worthy 
contribution  to  American  art. 

Two  very  attractive  books  are  "  When  Lit- 
tle Boys  Sing "  and  "  Improving  Song  for 
Anxious  Children/'  songs  for  children  writ- 
ten and  illustrated  by  John  and  Rue  Car- 
penter. From  the  standpoint  of  art  these 
illustrations  are  not  entitled  to  any  very  high 
place,  but  they  show  originality  and  humor 
of  expression. 

Among  the  later  artists  who  have  made  a 
name  for  themselves  as  illustrators  of  chil- 
dren's books  is  Lucy  Fitch  Perkins;  fine  ex- 
amples of  her  work  are  shown  in  "  The  Goose 
Girl  "  and  in  Mrs.  C.  H.  Harrison's  books, 
"  The  Moon  Prince,"  "  The  Flaming  Sword," 
xix 


INTRODUCTION 

and  "  Prince  Silver  Wings  " ;  also  in  a  series 
called  the  "  Dandelion  Classics/'  which  in- 
clude "  Robin  Hood/'  "  Twenty  Best  Fairy 
Tales/'  "  A  Midsummer  Night's  Dream/'  "  A 
Wonder  Book/'  and  "  2Esop's  Fables." 

During  the  last  few  years  several  artists 
have  achieved  fame  through  their  genius  in 
illustrating  books  for  the  young.  Among  the 
more  prominent  of  these  are  Arthur  Rack- 
ham,  Edmund  Dulac,  and  Warwick  Goble. 
Among  the  books  illustrated  by  Arthur  Rack- 
ham  are  "  Peter  Pan/'  "  The  Rainbow  Book/' 
"  Alice's  Adventures  in  Wonderland/'  and 
Grimm's  "  Fairy  Tales."  To  Edmund  Du- 
lac  may  be  credited  among  others,  "  The 
Arabian  Nights/'  and  "  The  Sleeping  Beau- 
ty."

ALICE'S    ADVENTURES    IN    WONDERLAND. 

By  C.  L.  Dodgson  (Lewis  Carroll). 
The  fairy  story  of  a  little  girl  who  ran 
through  a  rabbit  hole  into  a  very  queer  coun- 
try, and  of  her  adventures  there.  The  hu-
